SOS have developed our unique business system with the Franchisee in mind. We are governed and regulated by the Franchise code of conduct and the Franchise Council of Australia, which ensures that you as the franchisee are afforded protection and guarantees that our franchise system is designed to work for you.
Our presentation has been developed to highlight the mobile aspect of the business. The imagery, style and componentry associated with our brand portray a high quality product and service.
SOS franchisees operate in exclusive territories. Our proprietary mapping system constructs exclusive territories based on proven business and customer data within each franchise area. This ensures there is no competition amongst colleagues, and all franchisees can concentrate on building their territories accordingly. This is unique to SOS
Becoming a SOS franchisee is your gateway to creating your own future.
Mirroring the recession in the early 1990s, the current economic downturn has again seen interest levels in franchises spike. Rather than fritter away their redundancy package many left jobless are looking to invest their payout on a franchise in what they see as recession-proof business investment.
“The franchising industry tends to pick up during a recessionary period because some very talented operators, middle and upper management, are as vulnerable as anyone to being retrenched. These sorts of people often want to take on the challenge of starting their own business instead of waiting for another opportunity in their previous career,”
Establishing a new business requires a lot of time and energy, and often far more than the set costs of buying a franchise according to SOS
“To succeed you must conduct regular cash flow forecasts, keep accounts easily accessible, know where your costs are and manage accordingly. Monitor outgoing expenses and you must endeavour to maintain your marketing budget. This is one of the first things businesses pull back on and it invites a case of out of sight, out of mind.”
The SOS is a truly National Retail Operation with 14 stores located throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. A Master Franchisee agreement has also been executed for Western Australia and the Northern Territory. A comprehensive store listing together with a vast array of exciting information is available online through their fantastic website.
